Exit Orange and Red
Martyn Bedford
The second novel by this author (the first was Acts of Revision) - much more ambitious and far less successful. It tries to inter-weave a contenporary story of a woman journalist reporting on Sheffield's Meadowhall with a nineteenth century account of the steelworks which were on the same site (now Meadowhall). Andrew got bored with the historical stuff - much of which felt inauthentic. The two plots did come together at the end but the ending was an anticlimax.
